I hate this public present opening thing in general. We're supposed to do it at kids' birthday parties too and it's a nightmare. The kid usually really wants to keep whatever it is that he's brought, and so even though he's excited to give it to his friend he's really just dying to play with it, and it gets everybody all completely freaked out, and I just hate it. I'd much rather just let the kids play and eat and hang out and open gifts post party. It's too weird and generally icky.
